AlAnoud A AlGhunaimFebruary 20, 2022The coziest place I’ve been to in a while, really crowded. Brisket and lobster mac and cheese, paella, and their gnocchi👌🏻 the vibe itself is worth the visit guys.
Kristina RudicJanuary 25, 2015One of the best meals I've had in NYC. Lobster mac & cheese is everything they've said it is and for dessert, don't miss the date pudding! It's absolutely amazing.

KinoApril 9, 2017The Mac & Cheese here is my favorite in all of NYC. I'm not sure what cheese blend they use, but it's an excellent combination. No beer taps & no reservations. Bottled beer. Wine bar feeling.
Best lobster Mac & cheese I ever had! The burger was good too! Small place and a little hot inside 4 me, next time I'll be sure to wear a tank top! I'm def going back for try the rest of the menu.
Tom DiMaggioMay 29, 2017One of my favorite local spots in the UES, make reservations early because there is limited seating. I could recommend everything, the food is consistently good.
The mac and cheese is incredible, but I’d also recommend any of their specials. Had a gnocchi tonight and it was the pillow-iest gnocchi I’d ever tasted
WendyJuly 23, 2014The paella is a amazing! Not too salty or greasy and the right amount of seafood chorizo! A great selection of wine. Call ahead to reserve a spot or risk waiting a while!
Rachel MartinAugust 19, 2018Tuna Tartar was amazing! Definitely a must have. We had the short ribs special that was so delicious and the Mac and cheese with mushrooms and truffle oil. Best comfort food in NYC.
Michelle KramerNovember 2, 2012Heidi is super sweet! Make sure to call ahead and put your name on the list or you'll wait for over an hour. The shrimp tacos and Mac 'n Cheese are both amazing!
Andie SleemanDecember 14, 2016Our go to comfort food spot in the neighborhood. Get the Mac & Cheese and the Artichoke Salad. Their beer selection is great (always a few options on "special" for $5).
Marines MendezMarch 19, 2016Artichoke dip is to die for, as is the Osso Bucco. Will keep going back until I try their entire menu! Always packed so don't go when in a hurry
If the daily special pasta is gnocchi - get it! Heidi's has the best gnocchi I've ever had! 🙌
Leisha MagsisiJanuary 13, 2015Perfect date spot! Cute and cozy with amazing food! I've always ordered the special and have never been disappointed. Save room for dessert!!- Randi CharlesNovember 22, 2013One of the coziest and best meals I've ever had in NYC. Heidi is amazing and the tuna tartare is out of this world! Definitely call ahead- she'll hold a table for you.
Menu changes frequently, but can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Great wine and bottle beer list. This place is tiny, though, so get here early!
Bonnie CarpenterSeptember 9, 2014Their guacamole is so good. These girls know their wine and love how it's hidden between the avenues. Small but it's part of its charm
NadiaMarch 15, 2014Mac and cheese was a huge portion and too rich for my taste but their shrimp tacos and pasta of the day was delicious. Cozy and friendly atmosphere.
Matt BorstFebruary 28, 2012Loving this Rioja. Adorable place with incredible food across the board. I love that they get their bread from Orwashers around the corner (also highly recommended).
Brandon F.July 20, 2014Exceptional service despite its small setting. Good selection of wines and IPA's. Their pan seared steamed vegetables are exquisite.
Ani ZApril 1, 2014The lobster Mac and cheese and the braised short ribs #hallelujah. Get the Tempranillo with it. Orgasm in your mouth #won'tDisappoint
Roy EthanAugust 18, 2018Tuna tartar, Mac & Cheese w/ Bacon and Jalapeño, Paella or Pasta of the day.
stephanieDecember 24, 2012they don't take reservations, but you can call ahead and put your name on the list, and they'll call you to come when your table is ready.
Dana MarkiewiczMarch 11, 2013GREAT hidden wine bar. Tell Heidi what you like and let her choose your wine...never a bad pick, plus EXCELLENT food!
HangryHeidiMarch 2, 2015Great atmosphere, great food and a great selection of wine and beer. What a find!
Andrew MichaeloffFebruary 28, 2013Delicious specials and such a cute space ... Make sure you have no more than 6 people in your group or you wont fit ;)
C. Sha•Doe McIntoshJanuary 23, 2014Small. Good doe two or three. No more. Eat at the bar. Mary is (singaongy) awes-some. Finally...Eat. Steak! (Trekked from LIC for it.)- lauren sandonatoJanuary 11, 2016had the lamb gnocchi special and it was amazing! great little spot if you live in UES.
Get anything on this menu. You can't go wrong. Heidi will take care of you, I promise. Chase every meal with Malbec to the dome.
Devan PlylerDecember 30, 2017Everything, Mac & the Pork Chop, love the Date Pudding I get it every time
Nikki MApril 21, 2013Absolutely loved! And Heidi is a doll (thanks for lending the glasses) a must try on the ues!
Sebastian NilssonAugust 9, 2014Very allergy-unfriendly. Gluten in almost everything, even the scallops. Gave up after asking about it in 5-6 different dishes.
jamieMarch 12, 2012Since Heidi's is tiny the wait can be long, but it's definitely worth it! Be sure to order the mac and cheese.
Katie NeufeldAugust 2, 2011Gnocchi is the best I've ever had. Personally I think the mac and cheese is a bit too rich, but basically everything is delicious.
Frank KimJuly 1, 2011Very impressive assortment/selection of beers! Had a milk stout and a dark lager here, both of which had never had before.
- Try the amazing desserts... chocolate souffle or date pudding... delicious.
